The 28g Tie USB Cooler is sold by Japanese accessory maker, Thanko. It clips to the backside of your tie and is designed to push a steady stream of air through the button gaps of your shirt. Just plug it into any available USB port for power, or use the included battery pack to stay frosty (and un-sexed) while mobile. Unfortunately, it’s only available in Japan and retails for about $US35. [Thanko via The Washington Post]

1) Yanks the USB cord out, colleague asks why your shirt is attached to the computer…
2) USB doesn’t come out due to pulling angle and the keyboard/tower ends up on the floor.
3) Shirt gets ripped, which is worse if you’re a woman and in being so some people will try to get you on purpose.
